Phone number ☎️ 08000148055 👆 is reported as a scam targeting users who believe they are contacting legitimate email support, often Yahoo or Microsoft. Callers, frequently with an Indian accent identifying as "Sam," persuade victims to install remote access software like Supremo, gain control of their computers, and claim account security issues. They then demand payment ranging from £49 to nearly £200 for fake protection plans. Users report no genuine follow-up, compromised personal data, and subsequent email and computer problems. Many emphasise cancelling cards and avoiding sharing sensitive details. This number is associated with fraudulent activity, cloned numbers, and aggressive tactics. Users are strongly advised against calling, downloading any software, or providing payment, as this is not an official support line.
Reports on phone number 08000148055
6 yearsI rang this number about an issue with my Yahoo email account, and they mentioned that a technician would return my call. However, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about my next steps. What should I do now?Yahoo7 yearsI've experienced something quite similar when attempting to reach out to Yahoo for assistance. A chap named Sam, who spoke with a strong Indian accent, connected with me and utilised a software called Supremo to take control of my computer while he attempted to sort out a problem. He asserted that there was a security concern and proposed conducting a scan on my device. Feeling uneasy, I opted not to proceed, and he cut the line straight away. Although there was no request for payment, it definitely had the feel of a scam. Always make sure to verify phone numbers before dialing!YahooSam7 yearsI encountered a bit of a dodgy situation yesterday. Someone managed to get hold of my card information and promised to ring me back with some security queries to sort things out. However, I never received that follow-up call. I've since rushed to my bank to cancel my card and ensure my account's safety. Definitely a scam-best to steer clear!7 yearsI'm still feeling quite shaken, to be honest. Earlier today, I rang a number for help with my Yahoo login issues and a chap with an Indian accent answered. I explained my predicament and he immediately claimed that there were numerous people accessing my email and IP address. He insisted he could assist me with the issue, but I clarified it was merely my password that was causing the trouble. He acknowledged this, but then asked me to follow his directions on my computer. I was utterly stunned. I told him I didn’t know what to do and that I’d have to call back. His parting words were, “Madam, please refrain from using any devices or your email until the matter is resolved.” I hung up in a panic, grappling with the reality that I'd just shared my phone number and email address with a stranger. I eventually managed to contact Yahoo, and they confirmed I hadn’t spoken to anyone from their team. That’s when it hit me - it was a SCAM! Please, take caution with this number!YahooMadam7 yearsSteer clear of this number! I had an encounter with a con artist calling himself Sam, attempting to swindle me. Please don’t download Supremo; it allows remote access and can mask your screen, jeopardising your privacy. Stay safe!Sam7 yearsI recently fell victim to a hacking incident that has led to the disappearance of all my emails just two days ago. I mistakenly dialled 08000148055, believing it to be Yahoo's customer support. Today, I was informed that for a fee of $99 for a year or $199 for three years, I could secure protection against this issue. But alas, I’m still without access to my emails. They requested my Yahoo password, which has raised all sorts of red flags. At this point, I can neither send nor receive any emails. It’s worth noting that Yahoo doesn’t accept phone calls, which complicates matters since I can't reach out for help via email. I strongly advise anyone to steer well clear of Alpha Technical, as they falsely claim to represent Yahoo.YahooAlpha Technical7 yearsMy ageing dad was struggling to change his email password and ended up searching the web for assistance. He stumbled upon a multitude of sites featuring this number and decided to give it a ring. They went ahead and installed some remote access software called Supremo on his machine and managed to reset the password. However, had he not caught on in time, they would have extorted him for a whopping £199 for their "services." Thankfully, he realised he’d been duped and promptly cancelled his credit card. I’ve taken steps to remove the suspicious software from his computer, but I can’t shake the worry that it may have caused more harm. This number ought to be shut down without delay!Supremo8 yearsToday, I had an experience that left me rather rattled. I believed I was speaking with the AOL customer service to sort out my password woes. The individual on the line, who introduced himself as Sam and spoke with an Indian accent, claimed that my account had been compromised by an overseas number. He wanted me to download Google Supremo so he could rectify the situation. My alarm bells went off when he mentioned a £199 fee for a year's worth of 'protection.' I ended the call, but now my computer seems to be acting up. Quite the pickle, wouldn't you say?AOLSamGoogle Supremo9 yearsI received a dodgy call from some scammers who attempted to fleece me out of £99 under the pretense of helping me recover my password. What a cheek!9 yearsAbsolute nonsense! Steer clear, folks! I've encountered this number being touted as an AOL support line, but it’s clearly fishy. They’ll hijack your device, claiming you’re under attack from hackers. Sure, they might pose as a genuine support service, but it's all a ruse to squeeze money out of you. And just to add insult to injury, my computer acted up something awful after I dealt with them!AOL9 yearsI've run into a bit of a pickle with my emails and couldn’t get into my account. A chap suggested I ring this number to sort it out. However, he then asked me to fork out a one-off fee of £50 for the fix. That raised my eyebrows, so I decided to drop an email to follow up on the call instead.9 yearsIs this for real? I could have sworn I dialled Yahoo's number to sort out the issues I’m facing on my computer-though, interestingly, everything operates perfectly on my phone. It’s making me quite anxious!Yahoo9 yearsI just had a rather dodgy experience with what was supposedly a Yahoo number. They came across as very slick and even guided me through the steps they were taking on my computer. After identifying an 'issue', they attempted to download a tool to fix everything. Then, out of the blue, they mentioned a charge of £199 for a yearly service! What on Earth is going on with Yahoo and these so-called support calls??YahooSubmit Your Own Report (0800 014 8055)
